Heat-shrink tubing made of PEEK
21 February 2024

Advantages of heat-shrink tubing made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone)
1. High temperature resistance
PEEK can withstand extreme temperatures, with a continuous operating temperature of up to 260 °C (500 °F). This makes it ideal for applications where heat plays a role.
2. Chemical resistance
PEEK is resistant to many chemicals. It can withstand aggressive liquids, acids and bases, making it an excellent choice for demanding environments.
3. Mechanical strength and stiffness
PEEK offers excellent mechanical strength and stiffness, even at high temperatures. This is important for heat-shrink tubing that is exposed to mechanical stress.
4. Low moisture absorption
PEEK absorbs very little moisture, which improves its electrical properties and long-term stability.
5. Excellent friction resistance
PEEK has excellent friction resistance.
6. Extended service life
Using PEEK heat-shrink tubing can extend the service life of sensitive components and connections.
Overall, PEEK as a material for heat-shrink tubing offers an excellent combination of temperature resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.
